Philadelphia Phillies.
LATE BAILOUT.
Game 919.
6:38 PM PST/9:38 PM EST.
It's not easy to keep pace with the Atlanta Braves. But the Philadelphia Phillies are doing one heckuva job. Currently, they sit just 1.5 games back of the NL East’s top-team, and the overall best team in the National League. As a matter-of-fact, at 19-10, the Phillies own one of the best records in all of baseball. Let's face it, the same can't be said for the Los Angeles Angels. This is a team that's lost four in a row, and nine of the last 10, en route to a 10-18 overall record, which does include a dismal, 3-9 mark at Angel Stadium. Philadelphia is running hot, hot, hot, winning four in a row and eight of the last 10 overall, coming into this matchup. By the way, they are a monster team on the road, going 9-4, which does include a 5-2 record during the current road trip. Christopher Sanchez and Griffin Canning are scheduled here. With Philly starting to heat up at the plate, the left-hander is going to get a ton of run support, which wasn't the issue earlier this season. I mean let's face it, he is 1-3 overall, but has an anemic ERA of 2.96. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.
